High Performance Navigation MEMS IMU

ER-MIMU-052 High Performance Navigation MEMS IMU

Introduction

Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is a device that measures an object's three-axis  angular velocity and acceleration. Gyroscopes and accelerometers are the core devices of an Inertial Navigation System (INS). Through the built-in accelerometers and gyroscopes, the IMU can measure the three-axis linear acceleration and three-axis rotational angular velocity, and obtain the attitude, velocity, and displacement information of the carrier through analysis.

ER-MIMU-052 utilizes high-quality, high-reliability MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes. Integrating algorithms, it enables long-duration autonomous navigation and attitude measurement, effectively suppressing accumulated errors and meeting the core requirements of aviation, drilling, and surveying scenarios for long endurance and high precision.

It also employs standardized modular packaging, supporting OEM customization. The installation structure, communication protocols (such as RS-232 and CAN), and data output formats can be adjusted according to user needs. Its compact size and lightweight design allow for easy embedding into aviation equipment, drilling instruments, mobile surveying vehicles, and unmanned vehicles without significant modifications to the equipment structure, reducing integration costs and deployment complexity.

Product composition and working principle

The product is mainly composed of three-axis MEMS accelerometer and gyroscope. The working principle is as follows: the gyroscope and accelerometer data are collected by ARM microcontroller, three high-precision gyroscopes are collected by 1-channel digital interface SPI, and three accelerometers are collected by another 1-channel digital interface SPI. All sensors are calibrated and compensated in software after acquisition.

Click "COMCFG" to configure the baud rate of RS422 serial port, which is the COM port required; Click the "Open" button to open the RS422 communication interface and power on the IMU.

The Angle data of X,Y,Z gyro "GX,GY,GZ", the data of X,Y,Z accelerometer "ACCX,ACCY,ACCZ" will be displayed on the interface. The temperature data of IMU will be displayed in the "TX" box. Click "CAL" box to set the data update rate of the interface to 100. The "Counter" box displays the frame serial number for each frame of data.

Precautions for use

1)Installation error description

Internal orthogonal compensation has been carried out for the whole product. If the platform used by the product cannot guarantee the accuracy of the benchmark after installation, please compensate the installation error accordingly.

2)Installation and protection

When the product is installed, it should be tightly installed parallel to the base level of the carrier installation (the installation error with the base level should be less than 0.05°).

Because the product is a precision test instrument, although there is a shell protection, in order to protect the product damage, users should handle gently. The use and movement of the product should avoid falling, and be sure not to let the product and other components in the use of serious impact, to ensure the accuracy of the product datum requirements.
